Key result
Type D personality in healthy medical students was not associated with statistically significant differences in cardiac autonomic functions compared to non-Type D students.
Why the study?
Does Type D personality alter cardiac autonomic function in healthy medical students?
Cross-Sectional (n=60)
Does Type D personality alter cardiac autonomic function in healthy medical students?
Type D personality is not associated with significant alterations in cardiac autonomic function in healthy medical students without cardiovascular disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No autonomic differences seen in healthy students; leaves open Type D relevance to cardiac risk in other populations.
Shuba Narasimhan (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy medical students (n=60). Type D personality vs. Non-Type D personality was evaluated on Cardiac autonomic function (parasympathetic and sympathetic tests). Type D personality in healthy medical students was not associated with statistically significant differences in cardiac autonomic functions compared to non-Type D students.
